i think is 55% 45% match for optic, with hiko in the line up is a strong team that can beat north. Will be a close game and enjoy, and if you want free skins enter in bets.gg and use code UNRANKED to free skins.

North have never played train recently, meanwhile they raped VP on cache at the major after losing 3-16 (i think? maybe 4-16) and tilting all shit when they lost on their map pick.
They have absolutely no reason to ban Cache and play Optic's best map, a map they don't even play.

WTF is this group system
optic should play against col, and north go for the miracle against astralis, is not fair for optic play this match again because they already played with the best teams in this group but not with the weakest.
happens the same with the rest of groups.

i would rather watch nip-c9, fnatic-vp, to see if nip will be able to climb out of pile of shit and if fnatic will finally take the game seriously, faze-navi game will mostlikely look like pug game with close to zero strats and a lot of clutches

North vs OpTic will be a very close game
VP vs fnatic is good game, I hope fnatic wins tho
NiP vs Cloud9 is a clownfiesta = entertaining
Navi vs FaZe - NaVi should stomp FaZe 2-0 because they're playing with bot jkaem

I appreciate the link, but I have been checking the match pages that HLTV has and if you look here, it should be coL to ban first, if it follows the side the team is on, in the match page:
hltv.org/match/2307904-astralis-complexi..
I have no idea, how they decide which team is A and B, if it does not follow the side the team is on, in the match page..

4.6. Map selection
Referee will coin-flip to determine which team begins the veto process. In matches
where a team comes from the upper bracket to face a team coming from a lower bracket
match, the team coming from the upper bracket will decide who drops the first map.

the teams have a shared map pools, it could happen. Imagine if Optic picks Overpass, North definitely have the potential to win the map. don't act like a retard, I know it's a common thing on hltv but please.

They had very few good strats, most of which never utilized mollies, like in secret stairs, then they proceed to win the round because canjun completely missed at T red and OG simply hit every single shot, tbf there WAS a smoke but yeah. Only strat with a molly that I saw was mollying top of hut/inside catwalk.

They went full pug at one point because when north is playing out of their minds you have to try to take the fast engagements to bring their mommentum down. I agree at the unmollied places though, they were tilted as fuck m8. But I think they can turn things around, they used to do at least.

Their aim was on point, the positions they were taking and that bit of luck you need was also on point. I just don't understand why OpTic never pauses the game, makes me want to go there and pause it for them, so frustrating lol

That should've been an easy 14-1 for North.
Many of the plans OpTic were trying required late rounds Molotovs (e.g., vents, ramp-room doors, etc). Too often OpTic were getting caught off guard, or not even effectively trading (which is essential whenever you do a burst out squeaky/hut). Under no circumstance should MSL multi-frag as much as he did playing hut.
In two maps of Nuke, you rarely saw lurk around to heaven or fight past big garage.

Acting like he hasn't been bad prior to the tournament LUL. Dude has been bad for a while, fanboys hype him up if he has one good match or even tournament. Shroud has been doing bad but not Hiko-level.

rush is an entry and hiko is a lurk, in a lost game hiko should be fragging heavily over rush because of the easy kills hes gonna get even when theyre losing rounds, notice how happy always top frags on nv loss

doesnt matter, still pick up literally beta version of happy, there are much better players available in NA, by beta version i mean happy also lurks, only difference is that happy actually gets frags while lurking
